Nancy Marshall (she/her)

Hi there, I’m Nancy Marshall (she/her/hers) PhD, RSW. I look forward to connecting with you!

With over 20 years of experience as a Child and Youth Worker and therapist supporting autistic and neurodivergent individuals and their families in school and community settings, my approach is:

• strength-based
• relational
• emotion-focused and
• Polyvagal-informed

I collaborate with clients to create personalized strategies that are tailored to individualized needs using neurodiversity-affirming principles and therapeutic modalities, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), polyvagal theory, and PDA-informed care for those with PDA (demand avoidant) profiles.

My practice is grounded in the philosophy that:

• Everyone experiences challenges – relying on support is ok!
• Our bodies, brains, and nervous systems hold the wisdom we need to become the best versions of ourselves
• Specific needs are not “special needs” – all people have needs!
• Kids do well when they can – when unmeet needs are met
• Every person can be supported to thrive in ways that foster their self-determined right to be who they are
